2014 Charmes Chambertin

Deep ruby-red. Extremely dark aromas of black cherry, licorice pastille, crushed rock and violet. Wonderfully rich, pliant wine with splendid volume and sweetness for the year. Still very young but already displays lovely sucrosité that's nicely supported by its energy and structure. Humbert told me his 55-year-old vines on soil featuring a lot of small rocks are not far from those of Denis Bachelet and typically yield a structured wine. The dense, lively finish features black fruits, licorice, violet and bitter chocolate.
